Product Description
Mathematically, your odds in a solo breakaway aren't particularly favorable. The Ridley Noah is a carefully calculated equation designed to improve those odds. Incorporating a number of Ridley's FAST Concept technologies, the Noah has been tested to reduce power input needed by up to 15 watts in a 50km/h (just over 30 mp/h) breakaway. The less power you need to maintain your breakaway speeds, the greater your ability to conserve more energy to stay away from the field longer. That makes your odds for the top spot on the podium a little better.While most bicycle companies would be content to rely on their tubesets for an aerodynamic advantage, Ridley's research and development on their flagship Noah go far beyond tube shapes and bike geometries. The latest generation of Ridley's groundbreaking Noah shares the same proven aero features as its earlier iterationsAAAincluding an aero downtube, internal cable routing, an aero seat tube that extends into an integrated seatmast, and a deep rear wheel cut-out. What sets the Noah apart from other aero bikes is its use of Ridley's R-Flow technology. As we all know by now, drag increases exponentially with airspeed, which means small changes to reduce your drag will have a disproportionately positive impact as your speed increases. R-Flow technology focuses on one specific issue of bicycle aerodynamics. According to Ridley, your wheels produce eight times more drag where they pass through your fork and seat stays due to the turbulence of the colliding air masses there. The Noah is built to minimize this drag thanks to its use of long, slotted airfoils built into both the fork legs and the seat stays. These airfoils redirect oncoming air away from the turbulent areas near the wheels.The story of the Noah doesn't stop at R-Flow. Ridley used oil mapping in the wind tunnel to isolate spots of turbulent airflow.
